⚠️ In new data released this week, only 93% of children starting kindergarten in fall 2021 were fully vaccinated against measles, down from 94% the previous year & 95% pre-pandemic. This rate is now well below the 95% rate needed for herd immunity.

MASSIVE MILESTONE: routine vaccines for children administered between 1994 and 2021 have now saved more than 1 MILLION lives. 🎉 This is thanks to the Vaccines For Children program, which helps families access free vaccines. Vaccines & vaccine access are life saving.

Today we're thinking of JJ, who lost his life 3 years ago to flu. JJ was a happy, funny, energetic child and sadly was one of 199 children in the U.S. who died from flu in the 2019-20 season. Get your flu shot every year. 💔 vaccinateyourfamily.org/jj Maurine Neiman 🐌

10 years ago today, Alicia Stillman lost her daughter Emily to Meningitis B. Emily had been vaccinated with the only meningococcal vaccine available at that time - which did not include MenB. Now, we do have vaccines to provide protection. @MenBAction vaccinateyourfamily.org/testimonials/e…

Our hearts are with the 100+ families impacted by the loss of children to flu this season. Each of these deaths represents an empty high chair or seat at the kitchen table. We need to take flu prevention seriously. It saves lives. It's #NotJustTheFlu. cdc.gov/flu/weekly/ind…

You've probably seen avian flu (H5N1) making headlines, but the threat to humans remains low. Anyone who works directly w/ poultry or wild birds should take precautions like wearing personal protective equipment. An expert answers your questions: cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/s…
